    2008 Fukudome at the plate is kinda...not all that impressive. 2009 Fukudome, however, looks much better. 2010 even moreso (according to FG). Like, 2017 Heyward just being 2008 Fukudome would just mean he's less bad at the plate, not actually good. Again, just seems like really, really low expectations. What the heck sticks out to you guys about Fukudome's 2008 offensive value?

    Either you're tempering your expectations REALLY low for a really good player, or we have wildly different memories of Fukudome's offensive production. he was a bit below average in 2008 (91 wRC+) and a bit above average in 09 (110) and 10 (118). I would gladly take an 09 or 10 fukudome offensive year + his defense if you could guarantee them to me at this point. in heyward's good years, he's basically been at 120 3 times, 110 once, and 134 once. That seems like really settling when it comes to a player of Heyward's age with his history and his price tag.

    To be fair, this is also what it says on Theo's business card: http://i.imgur.com/Bs6teSB.jpg

    is that necessarily a bad thing? YMMV

    That shirt looks like the business card for a swanky Vegas escort service.

    How is that not my most popular post ever.

    Y'know, we laugh, but I can think of another famous Christian who was denied three times right before he faced his destiny... Yup, you guessed it: Hitler.

    that's not going to deter his biggest fans, most of them are very comfortable with 3 K's.

    Ice Cube's dick.

    No, I was continuing the bit.

    LIGHTEN UP, FRANCIS.

    Fantastic user ID/profile pic; I'm pulling for the new guy to win if I am unjustly denied yet again.

    Tommy redeemed himself by catching the Anchorman reference immediately.

    I just assumed the "absolutely fantastic" part was someone screaming at Dee Gordon to eat a steak sandwich.

    He did only pitch 11 innings in the series, but he was pretty damn good. I think if he came on in relief in game 7 and shut the Indians down to win the WS, he probably would have. For all of the people complaining about the bullpen choices in Game 7, not seeing Jake is the one that actually bugged me. The Indians didn't seem to have an answer for him, and I really just wanted to save Chapman for the 9th; it seemed perfectly set up to bring him in. Maybe he wasn't feeling it or didn't look right when warming up (if he warmed up at all), but yeah, even before things went wrong I was wondering aloud why Jake wasn't ready or coming in.

    Outside of #1, that list makes not a lick of [expletive] sense.

    This was kind of how I was looking at it. Didn't really think it was a big deal. There's nothing more blue collar (NOT ACTUALLY A THING WITH MILLIONAIRES) than the nickname "Joey Bats."

    1984 was definitely an awaking but it was still easy and cheap to get seats for any game at wrigley until the late 90's sidenote it was also possible to get into yankee stadium for $8 in the mid-90s. Yeah, Sammy basically made it the ticket it became; right up until then I remember going to games most summers where the plan was always "just show up and buy tickets that day because there was, of course, going to be a horsefeathers ton of them not sold."

    Bwaaaaahahahahahahah! This terrible mopes ended up blowing a 16-point lead and finally lost to the Raptors.

    I'm cool with this kind of scenario:
